Komodo Island Tour Map & Route Overview

This map gives you a clear overview of how a typical Komodo Island 3 day/ 2 night tour flows through Komodo National Park, starting from Labuan Bajo and moving between key islands and dive or snorkel locations.
Most Komodo tours follow a general route rather than a fixed path, as conditions like weather, currents, and park regulations can influence the daily plan. However, the journey usually includes a combination of iconic destinations such as Padar Island for sunrise trekking, Komodo Island for dragon encounters, Pink Beach for relaxing and snorkeling, and manta ray hotspots like Manta Point.
For multi-day tours, the route is designed to maximize both scenery and marine life experiences, allowing you to explore different parts of the park while avoiding crowds and adapting to the best conditions each day.
